Hear to Tempt You is a 1977 studio album from American soul group the Temptations.
This was the first of two albums they recorded for Atlantic Records after temporarily leaving Motown after being with the label since 1961. They would team up with Philadelphia producer Norman Harris for this album. After firing Dennis Edwards, the group recruited new member Louis Price to be the new lead vocalist. They would also work for the first time with Ron Tyson of the group Love Committee who co-wrote most of the songs on this album. Tyson himself would later become a Temptation in 1983, replacing Glenn Leonard.
